Peel and core the pears, then cut the pears into small cubes. Add the pears, sugar and water to a pot, stir and bring to the boil over a medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes or until the pears break down slightly.

Tip: if your pears are very ripe, you might need less time, if they’re firmer, you may need a little more time.

Serve your pear compote warm or allow it to cool and store in the fridge for up to 7 days.
